Abstract:

Fifty years ago, the Paris-based Maspero published Frantz Fanon's last work, Les damnés de la terre, a book that achieved an almost biblical status and became a cornerstone of postcolonial thought. Last year saw the publication of Fanon's Oeuvres by La Découverte. This article explores the meanings of Fanon and the metamorphic nature of his thought.
